Key Points

  • This bill would make it illegal to sell products designed to hide license plates from cameras, such as tinted covers or special sprays. It also bans the sale of fake or altered license plates that show the wrong registration information.
  • The Federal Trade Commission would be in charge of stopping companies from selling these items. This is meant to help toll booths and police cameras read plates more easily so people can't avoid paying tolls or tickets.
  • The government would provide $10 million a year through 2030 in grants to help states and local police buy new technology. This money would be used to track down drivers who skip tolls and to train officers on how to spot hidden or fake plates.
  • New official guidelines would be created to help states design license plates that are easier for digital cameras to read. However, states would not be forced to change their current plate designs if they do not want to.
